Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-1600: -------------------------------------- [~dinghaifeng], thanks for reporting the issue. It will help to have controller.log, server.log from *all* brokers. You can attach these logs to this JIRA. > Controller failover not working correctly. > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1600 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1600 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: controller > Affects Versions: 0.8.1 > Environment: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.46-1 x86_64 > GNU/Linux > java version "1.7.0_03" > Reporter: Ding Haifeng > Assignee: Neha Narkhede > > We are running a 10 node Kafka 0.8.1 cluster and experienced a failure as > following. > At some time, broker A stopped acting as controller any more. We see this by > kafka.controller - KafkaController - ActiveControllerCount in JMX metrics > jumped from 1 to 0. > In the meanwhile, broker A was still running and registering itself in the > zookeeper /kafka/controller node. So no other brokers could be elected as new > controller. > Since that the cluster was running without controller. Producers and > consumers still worked. But functions requiring a controller such as new > topic leader election and topic leader failover were not working any more. > A force restart of broker A could lead to a controller election and bring the > cluster back to a correct state. > Here is our brief observations. I can provide more necessary informations if > needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
